Gaffe or spite? The sleepy August day of the Italian Twitter microcosm, a place where Carlo Calenda he has always been very active, he suffered a sudden jolt in the early afternoon. For many he was a Pulcinella’s secret but the leader of Action let him (deliberately) escape: the account “Yoda, @PoliticaPerJedi” would belong to Filippo SensiPd deputy and former spokesman for Matteo Renzi. In replying to a tweet of the elusive Yoda in which it was read “Only a Sith deals in absolutes”, Calenda calls him Filippo. To which Yoda responds in turn “Philip?”. After which silence falls for a few hours.
In the most trashy election campaign ever, the ineffable @CarloCalenda finds the time to attribute the identity of “Philip” to me, referring it to a well-known PD deputy. I go in trend, the interested obviously denies.
Calenda wants to be Prime Minister.

Filippo Sensi, owns the official account @Nomfup, acronym that stands for “Not my fucking problem” and it is also a political communication blog. From here it intervenes two hours later to reiterate that it is not him the Philip to whom Calenda refers.
I’m sorry, no, I’m not @PoliticaPerJediI do not know @PoliticaPerJediI’d be curious to know who he is @PoliticaPerJedi that I follow and read. And then, come on, I look more like pic.twitter.com/Q1por5Tzwb

But the patch looks worse than the hole e all hell breaks loose on Twitter (if you haven’t noticed it at all it’s normal, ed). The entry #filippo ends in “trend”that is, it becomes one of the most discussed topics on the social network and the teasing is wasted.
In two it is love, in three it is a party, in four it is Philip.

The @nomfup account is in operation since 2010, @PoliticaPerJedi since 2016. When Renzi was staying in Palazzo Chigi, the official Sensi account was incensed, rightly or wrongly, as a shining example of modern political communication. “Self-deprecating and irreverent, he talks about the change of pace in political communication linked to the new technological potentials that allow disintermediation, a possibility of addressing citizens directly”, wrote a sober The sun 24 hours in April 2016. Politically speaking, the @PoliticaPerJedi account seems to refer to a “Italian Blairism” with 20 years of delay.
